Global Commercial Kitchen Appliances Market Analysis

Product Analysis

The largest revenue share, at over 42% in 2021, was held by the refrigerator segment. It is expected that this segment will experience substantial growth over the forecast period.

End customers will be looking at refrigerators with the most advanced technologies to meet their growing food preservation needs. The demand for refrigerators will rise due to increased emphasis on advancements made in refrigeration technologies.

The increased demand for combination ovens, induction stovetops, and other cooking appliances will drive the segment’s growth to 7.1% during the forecast period. Induction cooking technology uses convection technology to evenly distribute heat for faster cooking. The rising fuel and electricity costs and awareness of the importance of conserving energy will drive increased demand for the induction range.

A combination oven, which is an oven built-in with a microwave function is expected to grow at 7.2% CAGR during the forecast period. These ovens can cook multiple foods in the same unit using convection, microwave, and combination mode. These commercial kitchen appliances offer many advantages, such as high humidity, multi-level cooking, and airflow control. A combination oven can increase production capacity which in turn results in higher profitability and efficiency for end-use businesses.

End-Use Analysis

Due to the rising trend of QSR outlets, both local and international, this segment will have a positive effect on the market’s growth over the forecast period. The expansion of regional QSR brands is expected with new casual dining outlets opening in new regions.

Both local and international fast-food chains are using technologically-updated kitchen appliances due to growing demand from the end-use industry for more efficient and innovative kitchen appliances.

A growing market for commercial kitchen appliances will result from QSRs focusing on innovation in menus, convenience, and pricing.

Over the forecast period, cruise, rail, and airways catering will grow at a rapid CAGR. A significant increase in tourism is expected to drive demand for commercial cooking appliances for catering on rail, airways, or cruises.
